Σολοικιστής

Θαυμαστὰ λέγεις, εἰ μὴ δυνήσομαι καταμαθεῖν σολοικισμόν.

Λυκῖνος

Καὶ πῶς ἂν δύναιο τὸν ἕνα μαθεῖν τοὺς τρεῖς ἀγνοήσας;

Σολοικιστής

Τίνας τρεῖς;

Λυκῖνος

Ὅλους ἀρτιγενείους.

Σολοικιστής

Ἐγὼ μέν σε παίζειν δοκῶ.

Λυκῖνος

Ἐγὼ δέ σε ἀγνοεῖν τὸν ἁμαρτάνοντα ἐν τοῖς v.2.p.555 λόγοις.

Σολοικιστής

Καὶ πῶς ἄν τις μάθοι μηδενὸς εἰρημένου;

Λυκῖνος

Λέλεκται καὶ σεσολοίκισται τετραπλῇ, σὺ δ᾽ οὐκ ἔγνως. μέγα οὖν ἆθλον κατέπραξας ἄν, εἴπερ ἔγνως.

Σολοικιστής

Οὐ μέγα μέν, ἀναγκαῖον δὲ τῷ ὁμολογήσαντι.

Λυκῖνος

Ἀλλ’ οὐδὲ νῦν ἔγνως.

Σολοικιστής

Πότε νῦν;

Λυκῖνος

Ὅτε τὸ ἆθλον ἔφην σε καταπρᾶξαι.

Σολοικιστής

Οὐκ οἶδα ὅ τι λέγεις.

Λυκῖνος

Ὀρθῶς ἔφης· οὐ γὰρ οἶσθα. καὶ προϊθί γε ἐς τὸ ἔμπροσθεν· οὐ γὰρ ἐθέλεις ἕπεσθαι, συνήσων ἄν, εἴπερ ἐθελήσειας.

Translations (1)

The Purist Purized Perseus (The Works of Lucian of Samosata, Vol. 4. Fowler, Henry Watson and Fowler, Francis George, translators. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1905.) — 2 focus

Purist

Well, there is something very queer about it if I do not know a solecism when I hear it.

Lycinus

One begins to doubt, when a man has missed three.

Purist

Three? What do you mean?

Lycinus

A complete triolet of them.

Purist

You are certainly joking.

Lycinus

And you are as certainly a poor detective.

Purist

If you were to say something, one might have a chance.

Lycinus

Four chances you have had, and no result. It would have been a fine feather in your hat to have got them all.

Purist

Nothing fine about it; it is no more than I undertook.

Lycinus

Why, there you are again!

Purist

Again?

Lycinus

‘Feather in your hat’?!

Purist

I don’t know what you mean.

Lycinus

Precisely; you do not know. And now suppose you go first; you do not like following, that is what it is; you understand, if you chose.
